Just got my Apostrophe (') remaster. The thing is I ordered it from WOWHD, for little money, and it came in a package from Hong Kong. How could it be that cheap? When I looked in the booklet, a thing got me a little worried it would be a pirate copy or something: the lyrics are not printed, like on the RYKO-version? Is this the case with the 2012 remaster of this record, that the lyrics aren't printed, or is it my version that is fucked up?

It sounds great though, and doesn't look cheap in any other way.

FAKE!!!!

why should they be fakes just because the cds come from hong kong?got "hot rats" & "chungas revenge" from wowhd & they are ok!also bought bob dylan´s tempest there!

... First thought - it could be a Strictly Genteel type compilation next to Understanding America's Strictly Commercial bias? ...

My money's on this one.

Me too, but I'd cum out of every pore in my body if it was a second "Lost Episodes" comp. With that title I don't think it will be. It might even be a redo/expansion of the Ryko Strictly Commercial comp that came out alongside "Have I Offended Someone?"

If finer moments is a "greatest hits" type thing with single versions then I'm all for it!

That would be fantastic!

I'm off braving the first big snow storm of the season to see if HMV got in the new wave. Thumbs held they're their and all $10 each like the last few batches! I've never heard Mothermania, curious to listen since it seems quite popular.

What would be truly amazing would be if Finer Moments took it's material from previously officially unreleased orchestral material such as the full Sinister Footwear suite. Or not and that stuff gets released as an alternative thing - either way would do. There's a lot of would in this post.

I listened to "Ship Arriving Too Late..." last night. I don't think I've ever sat down to that one before, really liked it. It definitely seems like the start of the digital era, but the title track and what i"m guessing was "Side 2" is all pretty great. Onwards to "Man From Utopia", another of his that people seem to hate but I always enjoyed nyuk nyuk.

I hope HMV get's in the next wave next week, I'm getting close to catching up.

No way it Has AAD on cover Them or Us is the earliest DDD?

Technically yes. I was talking more about the sound. Things got more synth, electronic sounding with Zappa around this time. I think. I have to listen to all the stuff still. It seems like from Joes Garage to this record synth started replaced horns and what not and evey thing started to sound more electronic and "80's". Not in an annoying way, just in the Zappa keeping up with tech to exploit for his own purposes way.

But yes, as far as strictly digital recording, I believe you are right. This was still analog, but seems very electronic as far as content, even foreshadowing sampling.

i bought Willie the pimp from ITunes B/C i didnt have time to put my CD on my phone. I will say the the audio Quality is some what better but i just hate it how in the song, I know like all the rythms and huming along, it all of the sudden changes into some other beat that wasnt there before... I dont think that it should have been added to.....

Yes I suppose your correct also there is more too digital recording than the recording itself and FZ's synclavier like Chads digital drums FZ using Lynn digital drum machine and the Roland DX7 Synth I think up till the time it came out synth was a single note instument at a time like minimoog.

So, the Apostrophe lyric sheet thing is still unclear to me. Untangling sarcasm here from fact isn't always easy. Does the UME release have a lyric sheet or not? I got mine from amazon.com and there is no lyric sheet.

Mine has no lyrics, and it came from a local music shop (Sunrise Records).
